[scratt]

I ordered my first new Mac portable at around the time OS X became the default install. I just plugged my credit card in and dialled one up from a retailer somewhere and waited for it to arrive without even thinking about it.

I'd been on a sabbatical from computers mostly for a couple of years, diving and skydiving around the world.

I thought I'd got the wrong machine when it booted up! I was very surprised at what I saw!!
